The sequel film, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. It was very good, especially the pre-fight flash forwards and a new POV while running (in the escape scene through the forest). A little hard to follow the fast paced Holmes/Watson dialogue at times, but that's the point. I want that soundtrack, not excuses, captain. And the woman two rows behind us gave a wonderfully simple running commentary (such as: "ooh, look!" or "oh no!" or "yeah, that's the..." ).

Recently watched Tucker & Dale vs. Evil and I thought it was pretty good. Not Zombieland good, but I still predict it becoming something of a cult classic (there were no zombies in the movie by the way - just using that as an example of one of the best horror-comedy films I've ever seen). I liked how they played against stereotypes for the male lead character.

Also watched the animated version of Planet Hulk. The storyline was seriously condensed, but it stayed pretty true to the comic. I don't really understand why Silver Surfer was replaced with Beta Ray Bill, though.

Took the family to see War Horse last night. We all enjoyed it thoroughly. It was 2 1/2 hours, but it never really seemed like it was that long. It was predictable, but you felt enough of an attachment to the horse that you wanted those things to happen. It had its pretty sad moments. Alot of bad things happening to some of the horses, but it was a reality in WWI. There were millions of horses killed during that war. They didn't get very graphic with the war scenes, but for what is basically a kids movie, thats just fine. I recommend it, especially if you or your kids are into horses at all.
